Spirit was ready to move forward. He was still head shy but he would try to
work with us around his head. He was starting to really like people and handling
his head was less of a panic situation and more of just a strange annoyance.
We brought him into the safe squeeze where everyone handled him, especially
his head. Then we moved a Tellington Ring all around his head and he quickly
accepted it. Then we approached with the halter, giving click reinforcement
when he relaxed and stayed with us. He haltered without a struggle.
